Connecticut Post Mall
4.3
(7996)
Shopping mall
Connecticut Post Mall, located in Milford, is the largest mall in the state with over 200 tenants. Originally an open-air shopping center, it was enclosed in 1981 and has since undergone several expansions. The mall features a variety of stores and restaurants including Macy's, JCPenney, and Dick's Sporting Goods as anchor stores. With two floors connected by a single hallway, it offers a clean and well-maintained environment with restrooms at each end.
Very active shopping mall in the community. It's clean and well maintained. Solid food court plenty of options and good selection of stores. If it's a hot day out swing by the mall, they've got a Cinemark too!

Relatively a smaller mall, but very clean and well maintained. It’s 2 floors mainly has one hallway to walk. Restrooms are in each end of the floor. Some of the notable big stores are Dave & buster, Target, Dick’s, Boscov. Most of the other regular mall stores like Hollister, Finish Line, Champs, AE, Box lunch are available as well. Lots of vending machines available all around for refreshment. My daughter found a cotton candy vending machine as well. The food court is very big. About 8-10 options available including Sbarro, Tokyo Japan, Taco bell and Johnny Rockets.
There are activity places like massage parlor, escape rooms, and kids play zone/area available. It’s not very crowded and lots of parking available.
It’s one of the few CT malls, I like it, it is rarely busy like most malls except for the food court which has a good blend of food selection. For the mall shopping there are a few mall classics like Aldo, Bath&Body Works, etc, Macy’s, H&M. Also there is a Target right next door and the entire area about 5 mile radius is a ton of other things for groceries (Whole Foods) other department stores (Marshall’s) etc.
An exciting temple-like layout meets narrower-than-most walking aisles remiscent of single floor malls...CPM was flourishing on my observation.
Very nice property. It has an arcade, a glass elevator, a Macy's, and a Boscov's. Though I feel as if something is missing. I personally think that that mall should have a carousel like Danbury Fair Mall has.
Where do I even start….first there is no visible mall security walking the mall as it should…I encountered at least 3 juveniles playing kickball with a ball and not only it almost hit me but also others….then there is the strong odor of backed up sewage by the Windsor Store & when going inside such store is so strong that you gag….furthermore the electric escalator in one side of the mall is not working. Whoever is managing this mall unfortunately is doing a lousy job of it. I felt so sad for the staff in the Windsor clothing store that is working smelling the horrible strong odor of backed up sewage. You get a zero stars
It needs more store's every one is buying online. It's a shame. I like to feel my items, try them on, and pick and choose an item to make sure not damaged. To avoid all the hassles of returning.
Tyrell made me feel welcomed right when I walked in. Definitely recommend giving him a promotion for the hard work he does. Great person with great energy!

Fun escape room place and we like this one allows smaller children so my son can play. We did the pirate room and succeeded with less than a minute left on the clock it was fun. Our game master KYLE was also very helpful and did a great introduction to escape rooms for my sons first time! Edit : Since our pirate room success my son wanted to return and we also did the superhero and Alcatraz rooms. These were also very fun and we escaped both! Alcatraz so far was maybe the easiest and superhero the hardest I think. DEJA and ELIZA were super helpful in guiding my son through the process of learning the locks, rules, and the start of the mission. Thanks guys we'll be back to try the movie room next!
Coming from an escape room enthusiast that has done many around the world, we were pleasantly surprised by this escape room.
Sue is phenomenal she made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Helping us with choosing the room that the kids will have the most fun at.
The puzzles were clever, challenging, and perfectly paced, kept us engaged the whole way through.
We had a fantastic time.
So much fun for my daughters 13th birthday with her friends
We had an awesome time with Deja and the team! We went to All in Adventures for my son’s 10th birthday! We did the SuperHero Adventure & it was a great time. Deja was helpful and patient with our room with 10 year old boys 🤣
This was so much fun! We did Alcatraz and it was fun! She was able to give us 3 hints to help us out and in the end, my girlfriend and I were able to solve it!
This was super fun!! Deja and Eliza were super super helpful and accommodating, even when we ran into some hiccups along the way. AMAZING customer service!
We did the jail escape room and we had a blast here thanks to the employee Deja! She has great energy and was very helpful when we needed it. Would definitely recommend this location just make sure DEJA is here she’s great

Playgrounds
Eisenhower Park, the largest park in Milford, spans 44 acres and offers a diverse range of activities for visitors. The park features an extensive network of trails suitable for hiking and horseback riding, as well as amenities such as tennis courts, soccer fields, and a dog park. Nature enthusiasts can appreciate the rich wildlife and scenic landscapes within the park. Families with children can enjoy the accessible playground and splash pad while taking advantage of organized activities like story time on the walking trail.
Nice playground with tennis courts and sprinkler. Has an area for 5 and under but to me is really age 2/3 and under. I have a big 2yr old and he prefers the big kid side. Big kid side is ages 5-12. For swings they have swinging benches, a tire swing, regular swing, 3 baby swings and something that I think is a special needs swing? Not sure but it perfect for kids too big for the baby swing but not ready for a regular swing.

We went first time there but we loved the place. You can enjoy with family and friends where kids can play and you can hangout too.
Beautiful park, well kept grounds. Great for little ones and older kids as well.
Great place . They have a beautiful walking trail . With story time on it. Love the hiking area. To bad the lake ain’t there anymore. I use to go swimming here. Saw as lot deer, some people horse back riding. There a splash pad for the kids, playground, tennis courts, baseball field, and a soccer field . There a spot in the back for model airplanes to fly. But you need a permit to fly there. You get your permit from Milford city hall.
Went here with the CT Foraging Club. The area was very peaceful and pretty. Perfect atmosphere for a crisp autumn hike. The pathway isn’t difficult to walk either, most people will be able to use it
Absolutely amazing park. Friendly people. Two playscapes one for small children one for older children, also out of this world splash pad area with plenty of room. Free to everyone even if you're from out of town. Just pay attention to parking areas one parking lot to left is for residents.
i came here for the 8 pickleball courts!spacious courts, night lights, nice ppl.
con: there were pb going on certain days and times where i couldn’t play bc this park lady says it’s reserved and how there’s 100ppl coming btw 8am-12 on a weekday🧐🧐 ok sounds about right. weekly leagues or whatnot. i heard from the grapevine that i can just pay $5 to play w them but she didn’t offer and i didn’t ask
Great playground for all age ranges. Restrooms don’t have a changing table though and could use a good clean.

Seafood restaurant
Nestled in the heart of downtown on Daniel Street, Stonebridge Restaurant is a delightful destination for those craving New England seafood and classic American dishes. With its inviting ambiance, guests can choose from various dining experiences—whether it's the elegant main dining room featuring a cozy fireplace or the relaxed mahogany bar area. The menu boasts an array of options, from sophisticated starters like tuna tartare to beloved pub classics such as fish and chips.
My first time here and it was a great experience! The restaurant is well-managed and their menu has a nice variety of options.
Excellent service but we were not offered any dessert menus. This is a common fail in so many restaurants today and also lost opportunity for revenue.

We made a reservation for Valentine’s Day. Waited almost over half an hour and no one came to serve us. I had to stop a random server while she was walking by to ask her who our server was. She went to check and said she had no idea but she was kind enough to step in and serve us. Ordered a sangria and it tasted like just a glass of red wine with ice in it. Had to ask them to add in something to sweeten it up to actually make it a sangria.
The food was decent. I would say the presentation itself is a bit lackluster but the food was decent.
The parking situation is so hectic too but I appreciated the parking attendant helping us out.
We were excited to try this spot for the first time but was unfortunately disappointed and don’t think we will be back again.
We drove 2.5 hours here for our anniversary dinner and were not disappointed! From the moment we walked in the door, the host/owner greeted us and wished us a Happy Anniversary. Jamie and Jacob our bartenders poured us a champagne toast as soon as we sat down. Delicious drinks and incredible food! Will return for sure!!
Food was really good and hugeee portions! Seafood heavy menu and everything was filling and included a lot of seafood. Restaurant is really cute as well. Service is a little slow and because the area isn’t super diverse, they can definitely tell when you’re a tourist. The guy that monitors the parking lot is very friendly but in an aggressive way. They definitely treat tourist better than locals unless you’re a regular. I would go back if I’m ever in town.
Our waiter was John. He was excellent! He was very nice and there was amazing service! Our food came out immediately and they were very accommodating to a peanut allergy! Phenomenal spot!
Great atmosphere, good service. Delicious food and refreshing drinks. Very fresh ingredients and so tasty.
Amazing Blackened Scallop Downtown Salad. Ok, immediately and pleasantly overwhelmed with the flavor of this modified Waldorf Salad. The scallops were succulent, juicy morsels delicately spiced and sautéed, careful not to overwhelm. When paired with the walnuts, cranberries, apples and goat cheese, great flavor profile united in a subtly sweet vinaigrette. Blissful, perfect.
The atmosphere here is always welcoming, today was no exception! Two huge private parties but never took away from the personalized service and never a handshake away from instant attention. The owner is also very personable and when not helping the staff he is satisfying guests with a naturally friendly disposition.
I’ve heard the brunch here is legendary. Can’t wait to come and try it.
We were 1st time in Milford and picked this restaurant because of the good reviews and the appealing menue. We left however disappointed.
My husband got the Crispy Fish Sandwich and I the Aloah Bowl. We ordered the appetizer from the daily menu list, Full Belly Clams. It didn't have a description of the dish.
They were fried with thick crunchy crust, one could hardly find the claws. When I peeled the batter off, the ( little) meat was very gummy and chewy.
My bowl was eh. The coconut rice didn't have any particular taste, and the other ingredients neither. The argula leaves didn't look fresh and the mayo sauce tasted like a convenience product.
My husband's Sandwich came with 2 slices of cod, fried with the same batter and it sat very heavy in his stomach. The green coleslaw was put on one slice of the bun, small amount.
We found it was very overpriced for what we got.
My fork was not clean and I asked for a new one. I got a fresh napkin with silverware in there and that fork had again something very visible on it.
The person who rolls the napkins should make sure to only put clean pieces in there.
The staff was friendly and relaxed.

American restaurant
Eli's Tavern is a vibrant American bistro nestled in the heart of Milford, where modern design meets vintage charm.

From classic burgers to unique dishes like lobster mac and cheese, there's something for everyone. The atmosphere is lively, enhanced by outdoor seating and fun games available for guests.
Stopped in for a quick lunch bite. The menu has a decent amount of well priced options. We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. I ordered the chicken caprese and the chicken breast was incredibly tender and juicy. The balsamic glaze and basil pesto sauce paired so well. If you are in the area, definitely stop by and give it a try. The waitstaff are also friendly and welcoming.

Burgers and drinks place, found a fly in my drink and lost my appetite. Good service and the food was okay.
We , family of four, stopped for dinner after the New Haven Football game on Family Day. Nicely appointed dining space. Laid back vibe, which is what we needed to help us unwind. We ordered a bunch of appys and the only one that wasn't given 5 stars were the fried pickles. They were tasty, just not as crispy as we like them. It's still a recommended choice for food! **Parking spots are limited. However, the Milford train station is just around the corner with ample parking if needed.
Food was excellent especially the Philly egg rolls!! Yum yum! They were delicious. Our waitstaff was excellent. Alissa was attentive and courteous. She stopped by a few times to check on us. No issues except the burger was a bit more done than we had asked for. But still overall pretty good I had the Tavern burger and fries. I do recommend!
I had a pretty good experience at Eli's, when I visited recently. I walked in during happy hour, was greeted by the bartender, I placed my order with her and was directed to sit wherever I'd like. I found a cozy spot in the corner of the restaurant and was served in no time. The waiter was nice as well.
Went on a Saturday night and surprisingly got a table right away. Maybe we just got there at the right time because they are usually packed. Food was fantastic with reasonable pricing!!
Today the Savanna Grain bowl didn't have much grain in it. Being the first ingredient we thought it would. The signature salad would have been a better choice if we wanted a salad.
If you.re a beersnob like me....this is the place to be. 🍺😎👍while you are here, gotta try the phili steak egg rolls cause its BLAZIN!!!!

Chicken wings restaurant
Buffalo Wild Wings is the ultimate destination for wing lovers and sports enthusiasts alike! This popular chain serves up a mouthwatering selection of wings, tenders, and burgers, complemented by an array of sauces that range from sweet to fiery hot. The atmosphere is always lively and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. Regulars rave about the friendly staff who go above and beyond to ensure every visit feels special—shoutouts to team members like Chloe and Mike for their exceptional service!
Great Times at Buffalo Wild Wings!
We’ve become regulars at Buffalo Wild Wings, and it’s always a fantastic experience! The staff here is top-notch, treating everyone equally with a warm welcome every time. Chloe, the girl behind the bar, and Eric are especially great—they always make us feel right at home.
Our usual order includes the Ultimate Chicken Nachos, traditional wings (Garlic Parmesan and Mango Habanero), and the bird dogs. The food is always on point, though I personally find the sandwiches a bit dry—not a big deal, just my preference!
Watching the game here is so much fun—the energy is contagious! Plus, their happy hour from 9 pm until close has great discounts on drinks and bar food. Don’t miss their BOGO traditional wings on Tuesdays and BOGO boneless wings on Thursdays. Whether you're here for the food, the drinks, or to catch the game, Buffalo Wild Wings never disappoints.
Pro tip: Ask for extra wet wings if you like it saucy. Oh, and don't forget the Chocolate Cake with Ice-cream for dessert. You won't regret it!

It’s been years since we have been here and this time I went for my son’s birthday with just a small party. We received the absolute best service from Sammy and the food was great! I had a bacon smash burger and I was so nervous that it was going to be dry. It was well cooked and juicy. Wings were on point! We will definitely be returning to this location.
I had an amazing experience at buffalo wild wings. The ambience is warm and inviting, perfect for any occasion. Our server, Mike, was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and always ensuring we had a great time. The food was outstanding, with every dish bursting with flavor. I highly recommend and give it a five-star rating. Thank you, Mike, for always taking such good care of us! We will be back for sure Always !! THANKS MIKE
Do not bother with the new $20 all you can eat option at this location. 1) there was no ac. It was like a friggin oven in here 2) awful service. Got our drinks in the beginning and then one refill at the end of the meal after asking about 3-4 times. 3) I know when it’s all you can eat that these places tend to take their time bringing out your other rounds but this was crazy: first set of wings and fries took about 30 minutes to come out and the second set took about 40 minutes. Neither of us could even finish the second round. I realized with this experience that almost every time I’ve ever gone to a Buffalo Wild Wings, it has been a bad or disappointing experience. So now, I’ve relegated them to a last resort restaurant; as in; if I’m on a road trip and it’s 10 o’ clock at night and my choices are McDonald’s, Wendy’s or bww, I’ll choose bww but I’ll get a burger from there since their burger has been the least disappointing of all the meals I’ve had from them.
As you'd expect: nothing outstanding but decent value for their all-you-can-eat deal they occasionally run. Hooters has better boneless wings generally speaking, but plenty of flavors to choose from here. Service was relatively slow as they seemed under staffed. This location was also quite hot inside, like they weren't running the AC as you'd expect. Also the lighting was quite dim in the center section of the restaurant.
Absolutely horrible service, super bowl edition!!
Ordered 70 wings for super-bowl multiple days in advance, separate 15-20 wings orders with 10+ sauces in total for different tastes of everyone. They called on the day asking if “sauce on the side” is okay, since they are busy on super bowl!! Clearly told them no. But of course when picking up, all sauces are on the side, NO LABELS on any of the sauces, basically have to guess what was what, including dry rubs and similar looking sauces. Horrible experience for everyone, absolutely ruined the mood. Will never trust this branch with our orders again
Very typical bar type food, which was just about average but reasonably priced and good quality overall. We needed a quick bite to eat between Oppenheimer and Barbie and Buffalo Wild Wings fit the right in between them. We ordered to appetizers for lunch. Nachos and chicken tenders. The nachos had all the standard toppings and chili (extra $). The chicken tenders (nice and crispy) came with a side of three sauces. We got mild buffalo, garlic Parmesan and teriyaki (which was really sweet), but the other two sauces were good. I would recommend this to anyone needing a solid bite to eat.
If I could give less than a 1 i would. Received take out and they not only got the quantity wrong, but also the flavors. This is the second time this location has done this with my take out order. He then wanted to blame the grub hub driver for the mistake. When the stickers on the box were the wrong flavor and amount. I then had to drive the box 15 min back and he was extremely rude and disrespectful. This was 6:30pm on 11/13 i hope this manager is fired

Fast food restaurant
Burger King is a popular fast-food destination renowned for its mouthwatering grilled burgers, crispy fries, and delightful shakes. During my visit, I indulged in the Garden Burger, which was served piping hot and bursting with flavor. To quench my thirst, I opted for the Ginger Lemonade; while it had a generous amount of ice, it was incredibly refreshing on a warm day.
I love Burgerking and this one every employee make a lot of effort to please every one of their customers. It’s not easy to please people because I’ve seen some costumers being abusive and rude and even threat with the employees only to get free food. It’s sad and that makes me so mad. I believe as a costumer we have to be respectful with them, they just like us work very hard for their money.

It looks like the patty they served me had cancer before they cooked it. Really triggered some trypophobia vibes and I was disgusted; lost all the appetite I had left. This isn’t left overs, this is fresh out of the bag, minutes later.
Also at the drive thru I said light on the ice,
I drive up and the young woman asked if I said no ice, I said light, then she shakes her head “so no ice?” Like I’m stupid or something, and I repeat myself light on the ice, and she continues to give me the drink she had waiting for me unwilling to fix the mistake. The cup was 80 percent ice. Terrible experience, will not be coming back ever.
This has to be hands down the worst BK experience I've ever had. I'll be seeking a refund tomorrow for sure. Waited forever at the drive thru as the only person to just announce my order. The Food was stale, like they gave me old food and even the foundation drink tasted terrible. The employee clearly didn't care. Just terrible. Disgusting food
update: now my body is getting itchy and I'm developing sliggt rashes and feeling nauseous, WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH YOUR FOOD?! Shut this disgusting place down!
Tried ordering food here once was on the speaker the guy couldn't understand what I was saying his boss started talking to me and I couldn't understand her due to her very thick accent after about 4 minutes of trying to order I gave up and I just said forget about it. I don't want to be that guy to say it but they should really hire some people that can't speak more English better or invest money in a better ordering box might go back here again considering I never even tasted the food
Ordered 2 jr sausage burrito meal with a tea. My jr sausage burritos were dry. They had none of the sauce that comes on them just meat cheese and hash brown. Then my hash browns were cold. I also asked for the salsa packets that come with the burrito they didn't have any so she offer me buffalo sauce. That's a gr8 way to ruin someone's morning.
Honestly, after what I witnessed, I will never recommend this place. I went in with my family and was about to order when I noticed that all the food was just sitting out. A woman behind the counter was wiping the surfaces, and when she saw a fry on the counter, she picked it up and tossed it back in with the rest of the fries. Then I went to use the restroom, and there was no soap in the women’s bathroom. That left me wondering—how are the staff washing their hands? It was incredibly unsanitary for her to throw that fry back in, and the fact that she looked right at me and said nothing made it even worse. I was completely disgusted.
Why is it so difficult to get a hot and fresh whopper? I don't understand!
07/05/2023
Placed an order on their app at 10:25 pm and arrived at Burger King at 10:30 pm to an empty parking lot. This store is supposed to be open until 11 pm. Went to the drive thru and a voice said "we're closed" I then said I placed an order on the app. Silence! I then pulled up to the window and was completely ignored! I saw a few employees walking around but none would come to the window. Looks like they closed way early as the store was already cleaned. I pulled around into the parking lot and noticed several cars pulling into the drive thru lane but were also ignored. Why?
Long wait time, but the food came out hot
However I erge people not to go, nor go back. Near the cookies and coffee (customer side) there is a hole and I saw a bunch of ants crawling in and out...I think anyone would think that's nasty

For day 2, if you don’t mind the extra trek, today covers more off the beaten path places like Connecticut Audubon Society Coastal Center at Milford Point. Not quite as popular as Silver Sands State Park, but still highly rated among many travelers. Accounting for getting around and average time spent, today’s activities could take about 7 hours.

Nature & Parks
Silver Sands State Park, located on Long Island Sound in Milford, Connecticut, is a sprawling natural paradise spanning nearly 300 acres. The park features diverse terrain including sand dunes, forests, and a saltwater marsh. Visitors can enjoy activities such as fishing and swimming at the beach or take leisurely strolls along the boardwalk to soak in breathtaking views of the sound. With its year-round accessibility and picturesque landscapes, Silver Sands State Park offers an ideal setting for outdoor exploration and relaxation.
This is a hidden gem (sorta speaking). It is a state park but I knew nothing about it. Well let’s just say it’s perfect. Besides the sand being a bit rocky. There was plenty of room here and we did not feel crowded like other state beaches we have been at in the past. The water was great, and the life guard presence was an added benefit. They have a great little outdoor restaurant there for many different food options. There was abundant parking and the upkeep of the grounds was great. The park employee at the entrance telling everyone about weed and excessive loud music being prohibited was great. I will say it’s nice to go to a beach and not have the overwhelming smell of weed constantly around.

It's great....even better for residents. Free except for people with out of state plates. :/ still, well kept, plenty of parking, even if it's on the side grassy area. Picnic areas before the actual beach. Loved it. I'll head back soon. Oh! And the water is warm. :)
Beautiful place for pictures as there various groups taking professional shots. The tides come in and out 2x per day which opens up a path to the nearby Charles Island. Low tide in the evening allows you to walk out and take these amazing shots of the sunset.
Free parking access for CT residents, out of state plates have to pay for the parking. There is a little bit of a walk along the boardwalk to get to the beaches.
Park closes at sunset.
Silver Sands State Park is a real hidden gem right on the Connecticut coastline. The park offers a beautiful 1.5-mile boardwalk with stunning views of the Long Island Sound and the picturesque Charles Island. It's a fantastic spot for a relaxing stroll, and you can even walk out to the island during low tide—just make sure to watch the tide times! The beach is clean, the area is well maintained, and there's plenty of space for picnics or just lounging with family and friends. If you're a nature lover or just need a peaceful day by the water, Silver Sands is definitely worth a visit.
I can’t say enough good things about silver sands Park. A beautiful boardwalk that runs down the shore to several smaller beaches and through the marsh. A beautiful pier to enjoy and many fishing spots. At low tide a sandbar so you can walk over to Charles Island. Very clean beach areas with loads of shells for collectors and crafters A covered pavilion with tables and chairs to sit and enjoy your lunch, a snack bar-coffee hut. Clean restrooms, lifeguards on duty and very alert, a first aid building, bike racks, volleyball nets, charging stations for electric vehicles. Very picturesque area and at low tide is a dreamland for the young kids to play and enjoy, and if you want more privacy away from children there are several smaller beaches down the boardwalk you can choose. Plenty of room on the main beach with an incredible view of the ocean and on the day I was there many colorful sailboats sailing in the distance.On my second day back I discovered a bbq area with picnic tables. This area is away from the beach areas near the parking lot.
This is one of the best state parks in CT, the beach water is clear, warm and the park is very well kept. There’s a fee for out of state visitors but it’s worth paying if you want to have a nice, relaxing time!
Great state park if a CT resident you can get in for free. It is a bit of a walk to get to the shore so it’s best not to carry too much. Beware of low tide… but you can get on an island during low tide. There are food kiosks and bathrooms available.
Lovely beach with a sandbar where you can walk out to an island. Watch the tide charts, since you can only get out and back during low tide! I couldn’t do it this morning.

Absolutely loved exploring this place! Great views of the ocean and lots of walking space. The ladies that worked inside the building were so knowledgeable about all the different plant and animal species. They even took one of the turtles out of the tank to walk around by us. My friends and I had such a fun time. Great hidden gem outside of New Haven, CT!

A hidden gem for nature lovers and families!
We absolutely loved our visit to the Coastal Center at Milford Point.
It's such a peaceful and educational place, surrounded by natural beauty.
The boardwalk leading to Long Island Sound offers incredible views, and we were lucky enough to spot a variety of shorebirds — even the famous Ospreys nesting nearby!
The sanctuary is clean, well-maintained, and full of life. We brought our grandson along and he was thrilled to watch birds through the binoculars..
The observation tower gives a beautiful view of the salt marshes.
The SUNSET at Milford Point was absolutely breathtaking — a perfect and clear sky elevated the beauty of the sun .
As the sun dipped below the horizon and shades of orange reflecting off the calm waters of Long Island Sound was really magical one..
It’s one of those quiet, unforgettable moments that stayed long and forever too...
It's’ clear that the staff and volunteers are deeply committed protecting wildlife and their conservation.
They Deserve appreciation 💐💐💐
for the updates about the birds and the air quality monitoring initiative — such a great example of science in action..
Even though the building was closed during the week for summer camp, there was still so much to enjoy outside. The outdoor bathroom near the parking lot was clean and convenient.
Highly recommend visiting — for a birder, photographer
OR
just want a quiet moment in nature.
We'll definitely be back for another beautiful sunset
and more treasure hunt ..😊😊
Such a peaceful place along the shoreline. The staff in the center is quite knowledgeable, the center well kept. But the best part is the land that you can walk about and be with the birds and sealife!
Small.
Great marsh views.
Great beach. Plenty of seashells.
Great herons all over to photograph.
Property unmanaged.
Plenty of parking.
Outside bathroom.
Cool experience!
We came on a stormy day, so we weren't able to enjoy some of the tranquil outside areas, but it was even fun with it being stormy!
Great activity for kids, but it's also fun for grownups, too!
They have a variety of creatures to admire [you've gotta check out Frank ;)], a kids corner, telescopes that look out over the water, and a super cool staircase that's up 4 stories. It's a great view from the top.
The boardwalk takes you all the way down to the beach. It was pretty cool to see the big waves crashing into the seashore.
Last, but certainly not least, all of the staff are super friendly and helpful. You can tell that they enjoy working there.
Beautiful place to visit especially on a quiet day.
There is an education center that rehabilitates animals as well as a path way to the beach.
The best part is an observation center that allows you to see the beautiful vista. Simply breathtaking.
This place is a must see to enjoy nature.
Nice little spot for coastal nature trails and bird watching. On one side, it overlooks the Charles E. Wheeler Wildlife Management Area, and on the other side the Long Island Sound. The center wasn't open when I went, but the trails and observation deck were lovely.
A nice walk along the sound good views just outside of the city

Customers can enjoy the prix fixe dinner menu, offering a special four-course deal with various options to choose from.
Personally, my husband and I have been on several occasions and always enjoyed our meals and the service. We've never had problems with being seated, even without a reservation. We are proudly pastoring a church in Milford, and we have hosted a couple of events here. One in May of 24 and the other last week Dec 24. Jeff is amazing. He customized our menus for our private event to align with our decor, and the waiters were amazing. Food is absolutely amazing! Our guests rave over the Wellington Chicken! However, all of the food comes out hot in temperature, flavor filled, and presentation on par. Adele and staff at our last event were top-tier in service. Thanks to the team at Bin100!

This was totally the vibe we ladies have been craving! An incredible bottle, fantastic servers, and delicious food! It's definitely a challenge to ensure everyone is enjoying delicious meals that suit their tastes while being away! OMG, you guys, their vegan menu is absolutely AMAZING! Seriously, it was such a vibe! You absolutely have to check this out if you're in the area!
We had a wonderful dinner at Bin100! From start to finish, everything was excellent. We started with the fried calamari appetizer, which was perfectly crispy and flavorful. For our main courses, my husband had the seared scallop dish with grilled shrimp — beautifully cooked and full of flavor — while I had the vodka rigatoni pasta with shrimp, which was creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. Even the kids’ meal impressed us: the chicken cutlet with fries was a generous portion.
The drinks were also great. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was attentive. We’ll definitely be back!
We hosted my daughter’s bridal shower in June at Bin 100 and it was absolutely incredible. Elena and her team are the best! The service was stellar and the food left our guests raving. The tent is perfect for large parties and was perfect for our bridal shower. Bin 100 is the place to host your parties and gatherings.
Went to a baby shower there today. Everything was excellent! They even had a great mocktail menu, being pregnant myself that was so appreciated! It was nice to be able to have a cool “cocktail” with the girls! They had 3 family style apps per table and all were delicious! Next course was a salad, it was fresh and had a nice light balsamic dressing. I had the shrimp and monk fish with a lobster cream sauce, it was perfectly cooked and had great flavor, even the mashed potatoes were delicious! For dessert there were either churros, cheese cake or tiramisu. Everyone had great things to say about all of them! They even made a delicious iced cappuccino! The best thing was how attentive and pleasant the servers were. They checked on everyone and offered more drinks the whole time and I was very impressed! Wonderful staff that gracefully took care of about 90 women! Thank you.
I’ve been coming here for years because the food stays consistently phenomenal. I just had the butternut squash gnocchi with broccoli rabe, pork, garlic & olive oil and it compelled me to write this review. The sweetness of the butternut gnocchi paired with the bitterness of the broccoli rabe was delightful and unexpected, yet perfect in every way. Also, the bartender Nick is great! Funny and down to earth, not to mention he makes a delicious old fashioned.
We were the only ones in this restaurant before the night time rush for restaurant week. I have to say that the staff is very attentive the drinks are great, and the osso buco and the salmon over zucchini was smashing. Definitely would come back here again. Great job.
We went there tonight!
It’s restaurant week and it was wonderful!
Food was delicious!
Service was spectacular!
Stephanie did a fantastic job!
Our complimentary Port ended the night made it perfect!
Can’t wait to return!

The Sports Center of Connecticut in Shelton is a sprawling family fun center offering a wide range of sports and activities. From ice skating, hockey, and batting cages to mini golf, laser tag, and a state-of-the-art video arcade, there's something for everyone. The complex features indoor and outdoor facilities including soccer fields, pools, rock climbing walls, and multilevel hockey rinks. Visitors can also enjoy a TopTracer driving range and duckpin bowling.
The mini golf area is located on a beautiful campus, and their are loads of additional activities. It was a really hot day, so while my family part-took in the mini golf, I hung around in the arcade area with my service dog. Thank you for an awesome day!

Loved our visit today to Sports Center today. It was a rainy gloomy day but my kids enjoyed the arcade and the prizes. 50 bucks on their card lasted about an hour of fun. Next time we will give bowling, lazer tag and miniature gulf a try as well!
The staff at the Sports Center of Connecticut is always so welcoming and helpful to us! It’s a pleasure every time we visit, and we truly appreciate their kindness and support. Looking forward to coming back again! 🎉😊
Loved playing mini golf and the arcade! So much fun, not too expensive and Carly!! Carly helped us with every experience and she was absolutely amazing with my kids. Will go back hoping to see Carly again! Thank you!
We went on a Friday during the summer. The website advertised over 20 attractions and only a couple needed advance reservations so we took the hour-plus drive to have some fun on our daughter’s birthday. When we arrived we were informed they were cash only and only 3 attractions were open; mini golf, driving range and arcade. We overpaid for a bucket of balls in an attempt to make the best out of the situation and spent an hour in the arcade. Several of the games were out of order. The mini golf was not worth playing. If you decide to go, I would be sure to call ahead to make sure everything is open before heading there.
Great place! Awesome time for friends and family. As a great variety of activities from bowling, to an arcade, to a driving range and mini golf. Staff is super friendly and very clean! Lazer tag was a blast for a birthday party and a huge hit! Highly recommend a family day here!!
Took the grandkids for miniature golf. They certainly enjoyed it but I have to say that the course is in serious need of maintenance. The driving range is excellent and a great place to practice your swing. There are other services available such as Lazer tag , batting cages, bowling, an arcade, ice skating, target paintball and party venues. Sometimes you even get lucky and the Walters hot dog truck is outside!
3.5 stars really. I've grown up in Shelton and have always loved the sports center, but it's definitely gone down in quality. The batting cages are closed now, the mini golf has certainly seen bette days, and half the games in the arcade are out of order. Can't comment on the rinks. The driving range is probably your best bet for a solid good time regardless of your skill level, but it's a bit pricy - $30 for a large bucket of balls. Clubs are provided or you can bring your own.
Sad to see this place going so far downhill. Little kids will still probably be impressed regardless.

This is THE best pizza place in Milford. Their pizza is fantastic! I order from them at least twice a week.
Mike B — Google review
I paid $11 on a Chicken cutlet that was dry burnt and tasteless. I added ranch on mine at work for some taste.
We ordered a large and a small pizza and confirmed the order and the price over the phone. They got the order wrong and told us to pay more! What ever happened to “the customer is always right?!” They were arguing with me rather than admitting their mistake!!! Never going back!!! Losing business because they didn’t do the right thing in the first place or fix it! Total attitude!! Jerks! Don’t bother going!!!
Food was great and prices very reasonable. We enjoyed calzones, burger, fries and coleslaw!! Was able to accommodate an onion allergy as well
Such delicious pizza, crust is thick, but not too thick, the pepperoni pizza, my personal favorite, has just the right amount of grease to where it's satisfying, the workers are nice, great variety of drinks, and plenty of seating
Flavor was not bad. This was the only slice of pizza that held all the toppings on it. There was also about a 1/8th of an onion on this one slice. If this is your product in a town that is littered with Italian pies, you can’t compete.
Food was good was expecting more though from the reviews
The homemade stuffed breads are best I ever had - great pizza as well!

We love Greek Spot Cafe for its authentic Greek cuisine! Dining alfresco, surrounded by authentic decor and views of the stunning Milford sandy beach, creates a soothing ambiance reminiscent of Mykonos or another picturesque Greek island. The food is truly authentic, with a wide selection available, and the staff are consistently warm and welcoming, making every visit feel like a mini-vacation to Greece.
However, I do have two minor points to mention. Firstly, the takeout pricing feels a bit steep, and the portions aren't quite large enough to comfortably extend over multiple meals. With higher prices come higher expectations. Additionally, while the unbeatable location and scenic setup greatly enhance the dining experience at the restaurant, these factors don’t quite carry over to takeout. At home, the presentation of the food appeared somewhat lackluster, predominantly brown and missing the vibrant colors one associates with Greek cuisine. Perhaps adding bursts of color with a fresh salad would have changed the appearance, but without that, the main courses alone looked a bit dull.
Yet, this is for sure a great place for Greek food.
Great little spot near the beach. Friendly staff, quick service. Many options on the menu, sandwiches, and Greek specialties, including moussaka.
First and foremost, the staff were super friendly and welcoming! This was my first and definitely not my last time coming in! Everything was delicious, and I simply can not wait to return!
A lot of options to choose from. Had the chicken souvlaki salad. 🥗 it was ok. Nothing to special. Would go back and try something different the next time.
Spinach pie 🥧. And chicken in a pita.
While out here on a 3 week venture, part of my to-do list was to find a killer Greek Spot...and i literally did. The Gyro Fries are frigging awesome. The Gyro, the Skewers, the salads..all on par with the best. Great service too, such cool people working there. See you on my next trip!
Loved everything about this place. Great food. Great service. And if you dine in they have the perfect system when you order dessert, they’ll wait till you’re finished eating so it’s fresh and perfect. We’ll be back for sure.
The Greek spot?? Added chicken to my Greek salad, this was $36 ....Not impressed, tastes like regular a chicken salad to me.. sorry not sorry... there is nothing Greek about this salad.

Good Italian food. You will not leave hungry! The garlic bread included with dinner was delicious.
Last night we attended an All White Party. Food was fantastic but the service was above my expectations. Very clean and thank goodness for AC
As usually, we had great food and service unfortunately it was for a funeral reception. Bennie and staff can handle well over 200 people and make it look easy
Very good service. Generous portions. Great garlic bread. Reasonable prices. Blackened fish was a little over cooked. Summer time views of the water would be nice.
I had gone on a salary night with my girlfriend place was not really pack but a couple of large parties in the dining Room and there were some sort of activity going on in the banquet Room in the back of the building. Services quick friendly food was good. A very reasonable price I had a really ... Spaghetti and meatballs. My girlfriend had a veal dish what is absolutely wonderful. There were a couple of times I've gone there when the playlist cold and really upsets me but the food is still very good and not cold. But it does cool off quicker on a cold plate. Otherwise it is quite enjoyable in deserts are very nice.
Nice Italian Restaurant with adjacent banquet hall, right on the water LI Sound. Food and staff was excellent. Seafood was fresh. Nice romantic atmosphere. Also dinning room has all glass wall nice view to sound,👍

The food here is amazing, not only their wood oven baked pizza but they entrees as well. The ingredients are so fresh and some they even grow themselves. The pizza sauce is delicious, but don't forget the dessert. I feel like this picture doesn't do that dessert justice. I would definitely recommend this place and as for the prices, I feel like they are average. A small pizza can feed 2 people easily and depending on toppings, you're looking at spending around $20. Entrees vary from $20-$30 per person but they have a good portion size. This place won't be a disappointment 🤤

I stopped in here tonight and picked up a couple of pizzas. One was a specialty prosciutto pizza and the other one was just cheese/mozzarella. It’s wood fired pizza, so I just get charred, that is normal and expected. Pizza was good. also had some of the wood fired chicken wings. Those were Pretty good too. Staff here was friendly and this place was very busy when I was there… Nice place.
The best food ever! We love coming to eat here, the only place i will eat red sauce out as I’m a very picky Italian! We love that everything is homemade and tastes super fresh, we frequent here at least once a month!
The food, atmosphere and our waitress JoJo was totally great. Everything about the place was exactly what I expected. The food was delicious. We had the homemade raviolis which were to die for. The stuffed clams and the spicy meatballs that were on special for the night with the hot peppers was exceptionally good. So glad I finally came To this place!!
We ordered the homemade pastas and gnocchi. Everything was very good and you could tell it was all homemade. The meals were enormous and had a lot of variety of different cheeses too. The Nanny Grace's pasta was my favorite. The noodles were delicious and the sauce with the cheese was a fantastic combination.
The staff was friendly and hard working. They just zipped by the table a bit quickly so it was hard to ask for things you needed.
The decor was fun with pizza like decorations on the ceiling and the booth dividers had fun pictures drawn on them. The only thing when your first get in it's a bit tight especially if people are doing take out too.
All I'm all, I definitely want to go back again.
The food was good. Portions were very generous. It wouldve been excellent if you used real olive oil. I mean this is Italian food. Why ruin it with canola blend. Server was so sweet. The atmosphere would be so much nicer if you just even had some of those fake candles on the table. It felt dark and sad in there. I know if you just fixed a few things this place would be awesome.
Delicious pizza. Perfect pepperoni. Very nice and helpful staff with excellent recommendations. Insane parking lot. I cannot in good conscience recommend the house sangria, unless you’re in it to blackout.
Love the food! I didn’t rate the atmosphere because I always get take out so.. The staff that I have had the pleasure to have assist me have been superb! Love them!

Sister had her engagement by the waterfall n rose path. The whole thing was beautiful, then we went to fly kites and sit under the tree for a picnic. The park was clean with plenty of parking. There’s also an arch that’s covered in vines and flowers, almost like standing at an alter. Great for pictures.
Boothe Park is gorgeous and the buildings are very interesting, worth a stop to stroll the grounds or walk the trails. We were there on a Saturday and everything we read said they were open for tours but nobody was anywhere around and everything was locked up. We enjoyed the rose garden and peeking in the windows then read all about the oldest homestead in America as we got back on the road!
A very beautiful park, not too far from the river. There are many buildings on the site, each owning their own uniqueness that paints a history filled picture. An outdoor electric train setup with a few different small tracks. A small chapel, veterans museum, models of former president's homes. The 40 corner 40 wall blacksmith shop. A garden for weddings, photo ops or just to look at. An interesting Basilica. All in all too much to mention in a short review.
It was very nice and well kept. Large grassy area for baseball or soccer. Big playground for kids. I found the buildings interesting although couldn’t go inside any of them. I really LOVED the rose garden and the cemetery next door.
Grounds and buildings were well maintained. Rose gardens were if full bloom.
But.....limited buildings were open and the volunteer help had limited information on the collections. It was a Sunday afternoon that was to have tours....
The main house had 2 knowledgeable staff.
Nice park, has a playrounds ,bbq area open fields and flower garden. I mostly go there for outdoor photoshoots. Plenty of parking as well.
Nice park and very well maintained! We went here and just walked around, went through the beautiful garden, and had a nice stroll. There's not much to do other than admiring the beauty and just relaxing. But, beautiful place overall, and free to visit!

Great atmosphere, great service, and great beer! This place was awesome and perfect on a hot day with the mix of indoor and outdoor seating. It’s not right off the main road, so you’ll be driving deep into the industrial area to reach this place but it is so worth it. The mix of IPAs, pale ales, sours, and even a seltzer make sure that everyone in your party will find something they enjoy.
Great beer selections. Really smooth Benji IPA. We got the umlaut pilsner takeaway four pack. Dog friendly Biergarten outside.
Tribus has been our favorite local brewery since they’ve opened. Phenomenal selection of beers and more recently craft cocktails.
Always hosting a wide variety of events with a great atmosphere. From DJs spinning vinyl, Art specific events to wrestling and everything in between.
Nice patio area for the summer/fall months as well.
ALL ABOUT THE BENJI!
Always a good time at Tribus Beer Co. Tons of beer on tap. There are non alcoholic options available too. Every time I have been to Tribus they have had a food truck outside and they do a great job of listing them on their social media and their website. The back room (when not booked for private parties) has a ping pong table to use. The front bar area has plenty of seating and there is a large expanded area “outdoors” which is enclosed in the winter and open air in the spring through Fall. The music playing is always upbeat and sets a really great locals vibe. During any visit you will see couples, friends, families and even colleagues meeting up for happy hour. Tribus is an inclusive environment for a great time for all.
Attended a baby shower in the event room. The bar area and event room were lovely, clean (plenty of bathrooms!), and staff were pleasant & courteous! Will come back another time just for the brewery!
Possibly the nicest brewery in the state. We finally got to stop in last night (Sunday night) and I am so glad that we did. It was a nice cool night and all of the doors were open. Great open air vibe. I am personally not a football fan but they had TV's everywhere which was cool. Looking around the brewery, you can definitely tell that care was taken and they did a good job of using every available space. The beer was great and the staff was friendly and helpful. It got crowded and they handled the line like it was nothing. I never had to wait for a beer. If I could critique anything it would be that they don't offer chips as a snack option. To be fair, they did have a charcuterie tray BUT it would have been nice to have some potato chips available.
Awesome environment with some great staff. My wife and I had a really nice talk with Sean (Manager). Their beers were top notch and their anniversary IPA (One) was a real homerun. We tried One on the day it was released and I had to pick up a bunch to share... along with a bunch of their other brews as well.

Especially the Christmas lighting is eye pleasing as well. The Green is always clean tidy and well maintained.

It's a nice space. We went when there was a craft fair type of thing going on, and it was pretty cool. Also, the place is full of Pokémon Stops for the game if you play that.
I love the Milford Green! Fun ice cream places and stores. My nieces and nephews love going down to the library to play basketball, baseball, or selling some lemonade! I am a fellow Milforder and love scootering around town, not during the winter 🥶 though, it’s to cold 😅. I’m a Florida girl but this is my next favorite it adventure. My dog is now famous on Instagram because of some random guy on the green during the oyster fest 2024 and gave my dog some chicken! 🐔 she loves it! 😉 I hope the adventure will spread throughout Milford and join my journey of loving the Green! I love the Green 😍5 STARS 🌟
This place is awesome! Tons of local businesses come out for events to show their business/ products. It’s also a great spot for pokemon go!
Milford green, is a long strip for sitting, bringing your dogs! Picnics and Etc.
This picture was at the oyster festival for Milford green!
50th anniversary celebration of the Vietnam War. Great ceremony and field of flags! Thankyou!
The Duck pond is such a lovely place to go to. During lunch or just to visit. In the summer or late spring is the best time to visit.
Milford's annual tree lighting ceremony is back! Great time, family fun filled evening out in downtown Milford.

Great River Golf Club, located on Coram Lane, features an impressive 18-hole championship course that is ranked among the top five in Connecticut. The semi-private course spans 7,060 yards and offers a par 72 experience from its longest tee placements. Additionally, the club operates a golf academy and provides private lessons, with a focus on enhancing the skills of junior players. In addition to its exceptional golf facilities, Great River Golf Club serves as an idyllic venue for weddings and receptions.
It was an absolute dream having our wedding at Great River. Thanks to Karin and Abby, our day was truly magical and one we will never forget. Karin was incredible! From our very first tour of the venue to the big day itself, she went above and beyond at every turn. Her attention to detail, calm presence, and genuine care made us feel so supported every step of the way.
Abby was equally amazing. She was thoughtful, personable, and somehow everywhere at once. Abby was constantly checking in with us while seamlessly managing everything behind the scenes to make sure the day went perfectly.
We also want to thank Chef Matt, who was not only informative and accommodating during the planning process, but absolutely wowed our guests — we’re still getting compliments on the food!
The grounds at Great River are breathtaking, but what truly sets this venue apart is the outstanding team. Their professionalism, warmth, and dedication are what we will remember most.

We recently hosted our annual benefit at Great River for the third time, and it was our best experience yet! Karin Attolino, Sales Director, was exceptional - she stayed through the entire event and ensured everything flowed perfectly, even after our attendance unexpectedly increased to over 225 guests. The staff was fantastic, the layout was flawless, and the food was delicious. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and would rate them even higher if we could!
Great River Golf Club exceeded our expectations! After our first visit in spring 2023, we knew this was the venue for us. The views were stunning, and the grounds are well kept. We fell in love with the breezeway which is where we had our cocktail hour. They were able to extend our cocktail hour space into the courtyard outside the ballroom which made it spacious for our guests to enjoy the bar and pasta bar. The high ceiling and chandelier in the ballroom took our breath away. It looks even better in person! The team did an amazing job with bringing our vision to life!
The best part about Great River is their staff. Throughout the planning process, Karin and Suzie were always available to answer any questions we had. Suzie took extra time with us at our final meeting to be sure that all our questions were answered. On the day of the wedding, they were so attentive to not only us, but our family as well. We had an amazing experience. The food was so good, and our guests continue to tell us what an amazing day it was.
Thank you so much Great River for an unforgettable day!
We got married here this past weekend and it could have not been a better day. Everything was so seamless. Suzie and Emily were the dream team! The entire staff at Great River was amazing, so helpful, and kind. The food was delicious. All of our guests loved the venue. The French fry bar at the end of the night was a hit! Thank you to everyone at Great River for making our special day, that much more special. It was the most perfect day.
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue! It was a day we’ll never forget, and this venue and staff played a huge part in making it so special. The food was incredible and the venue itself and views are stunning. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run, and unforgettable wedding experience!
I can’t thank Great River Golf Club enough for the top notch service they provided for my daughter’s baby shower! It was the perfect setting for our buffet brunch. The beautiful event room, attentive staff and excellent food made for a wonderful celebration!
I would highly recommend the Great River Golf Club for any special occasion! I hosted my future daughter in law’s bridal shower there March 2023! The ballroom is gorgeous! The food was delicious, and the help I received was first rate! Chelsea listened to what I expected and everything was just perfect! Can’t say enough great things about this place! Thank you to everyone at the Great River Golf Club!!!
Chelsea and the rest of the staff at Great River were very friendly and accommodating while I was planning my daughter's baby shower. Thanks to them the event exceeded my expectations and was a very special day for my family and friends.
The food, service, and atmosphere was excellent and I would definitely plan another event with Great River in the future!

Bakery
Located in Milford, CT, Scratch Baking is a charming bakery and sandwich spot known for its homemade pastries, bread, and sandwiches. The bakery offers a variety of delicious treats to satisfy any craving. Customers rave about the delightful meals enjoyed at outdoor tables on sunny days. Although popular items like the Monkey Bread tend to sell out quickly, pre-ordering online for timed pick-up is recommended. The menu features an array of fresh and flavorful food options along with an impressive selection of coffee flavors.
Cute bakery in the heart of Milford with a wide range of sweet and savory baked goods. Unsually good bread. They serve coffee too but there's only a small strip of a bar in front and no seats so it's really more of a takeout place. Service was super helpful, friendly, and efficient.

Stopped by for a box of desserts for a friends birthday. First time in so I wasn’t sure what to get, but the girl behind the counter help me pick a great assortment of treats. Will definitely be back to try more of what they have to offer!
Service was effective. They have online order available too!
But it was my first time here so I wanted to see the bakery products!
The egg and cheese sandwich of the day was delicious!!! Bread is definitely freshly baked!! Rye with seeds, chewy and yummy!
Cranberry lemon muffin was so good!!! Not too sweet! Moist and tasty!
Monkey bread was one of the best!!!
Chocolate muffin was really good too!
Love the cute logo and the exterior door! Ambiance inside feels a bit dark, menu on the wall wasn't easy to read. There are seatings outside but nothing inside.
First time visiting Scratch Baking, and I knew it was going to be good just by seeing the line out front—but it moved quickly. I went with my wife, and we ordered a ham and cheese sandwich with bacon on a ciabatta roll, an oatmeal raisin cookie, sliced ciabatta bread, and their homemade lemonade. Everything was delicious.
They offer a variety of desserts that look amazing, along with several coffee options. There’s limited seating—just two outdoor tables—but it’s still a nice spot to visit and return to. Parking is available in the lot at the back.
Scratch Baking in Milford, CT is the kind of place that makes you fall in love with food all over again. From the moment you step inside, the smell of freshly baked bread and pastries wraps around you like a warm hug, and you immediately know you’re in for something special.
Every single item in the case looks (and tastes) like it was made with love, because it was. The croissants are impossibly flaky, the sourdough has that perfect tang and crust, and the pastries are always changing with the seasons, keeping things exciting and fresh. It’s the kind of quality that only comes from true dedication to the craft.
And speaking of dedication, the owner is an absolute gem. Warm, passionate, and genuinely invested in the community, she brings not only incredible talent but heart and soul to the bakery. You can feel her presence in every detail, from the thoughtful menu to the welcoming atmosphere. She’s the kind of person who remembers your name, your favorite pastry, and makes you feel like part of the Scratch family.
Whether you’re grabbing a morning coffee and a pastry or picking up bread for the week, you’ll walk out of Scratch not only with something delicious, but with a smile. Milford is incredibly lucky to have this place, it’s more than a bakery, it’s a local treasure.
Scratch is the kind of bakery that you wish you could discover for the first time again. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with warm aromas and even warmer staff.
The bakers in the back are always busy at work and you can tell that they all genuinely enjoy what they do. Their passion and dedication is proven through their delicious food, regardless of what you order.
My personal favorites are the bacon and vegetable quiche, the sourdough loafs, and the raspberry bars. But I am making my way through the entire menu and have liked everything I have tried so far!
The owner is clearly passionate about her bakery, and I am excited to continue supporting scratch and watching this bakery continue to succeed!
I’ve lived in Milford for 3 years now and I am JUST now discovering this gem from a coworker! LOVE this place!! I wishhh they opened before I go into work. But a perfect treat on days off.
Only good for baked goods and hot drip coffee, they know nothing about espresso. I am drinking milk…, she put a whole pint of milk in my drink then opened a second one to top of off with more milk.

During my recent culinary adventure, I had the pleasure of visiting Pasquale Pizza, and let me tell you, it was an experience to remember! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and friendly staff who truly made me feel at home. My order arrived promptly and accurately, but what really took me by surprise were the complimentary slices of pizza and a soda that came with my meal—such a generous touch!
I recently visited this pizzeria and was blown away by the quality of the food and the exceptional customer service. Not only was my order prepared quickly and accurately, but the staff went above and beyond by including two free slices of pizza and a soda with my meal.
The pizza itself was absolutely delicious, with a perfectly crispy crust and a generous amount of toppings. But what really stood out to me was the generosity of the staff in providing those extra slices and drink. It's not often that you encounter such kindness and thoughtfulness in a restaurant, and I was truly grateful for the gesture.
The atmosphere of the pizzeria was also fantastic, with a warm and welcoming ambiance that made me feel right at home. The staff were friendly and attentive.
All in all, I would highly recommend this pizzeria to anyone looking for delicious food and fantastic customer service.

I ordered Carbonara and it was horrible and the chicken breast in it was either frost bitten or expired. I couldn't help but let the new owner know (sold to him 2 months ago) so it isn't served to others. He didn't offer to remake the dish or take it off the bill. I wouldn't go there again.
Reply to Response by the owner:
Thank you for your response. I understand that running a restaurant can be challenging, especially under new ownership, and my intention was to provide constructive feedback to help improve the dining experience for future customers.
However, I was surprised to read your reply suggesting that I enjoyed my meal, as this does not align with the experience I had.
I believe that honest and transparent communication is vital for improvement. When I visited on Feb. 15, 2025 I found the Carbonara to be below the standards I was accustomed to under the previous owner, and my concerns were not addressed at the time.
I hope you understand that my feedback was meant to help, not to harm. I look forward to seeing improvements and wish you success in your future endeavors.
Ordered a few things this evening while being on the road, first time eating here but man! What a place, the pizza was wonderul, fresh yet crisp but not hard, the garlic knots soft and flavorful especially with thr dip! And the wings had a nice flavor to them! If im ever back this way again will definitely order again.
We have been enjoying Pasquale’s for the past year. The kids, especially, like the pizza. We stop by frequently for a slice (my son loves that he can ride his bike there) and sometimes get lucky that there is an interesting pie to try from (once stumbled into a Sicilian slice with vodka sauce) but the standard slices hit the spot just right too. We have also enjoyed the chicken vodka parm.
They are always friendly and we are happy they are in the neighborhood.
VERY good place for pizza! There are a lot of choices in the local area of downtown Milford, but for the price and the location, this should be your "go-to" for pizza!! Both the regular mozzarella pizza and the white pie are on-point!
Great. people work their friendly, great atmosphere.They have slices , so if you're not in the mood for a hold pizza , sit down and enjoy a slice
Ordered on Uber, buy one get one free on the rigatoni and some garlic knots. Pasta was average for a take out pizza place but the garlic knots……Don’t get me wrong I love garlic and oil but one bite and oil is pooling into your mouth. Maybe a bad batch?
Ordered tortellini in pink sauce and added a chicken cutlet. So fresh and delicious. My partner had a pepperoni calzone and it was piping hot and delicious. The service is almost as amazing as the food.

It was great they has my grandson's birthday party there the people were wonderfully with all the kids. The place was clean and also a great place to just go to get out and enjoy.
We both grew up going here but it was almost twenty years since we came.
Different coat of paint, same bowling alley.
The bartender Jack was cool AF. The girls working the desk were nice. The themes on lanes were corny but unique.
Good bowling alley overall. Not too expensive either
Amazing customer service! Deena and Bella are the best, Paula is great too! The lanes are always great!
Great bowling lanes. Good for groups of any size. Late night bowling prices are a good value.
Management staff is super cool, very accommodating to both the public and league bowlers. Lanes are well-taken care of compared to other alleys I’ve been to leaving your experience filled with fun. Check out Amf Centereach soon!
Came here with our 5 kids in the rain with a Groupon and it was not honored due to missing the fine print. Bella would not offer any discount and charged full price so we had to pack up and leave.
Great place to spend a late night. Good oil on the lanes

Nestled in the charming city of Milford, Scoot & Paddle is your go-to destination for an adventurous day out in nature. This rental shop offers a fantastic selection of bicycles, scooters, stand-up paddle boards, and kayaks suitable for all ages and skill levels. While a valid driver's license is necessary to rent motor scooters, everyone can enjoy the other equipment without hassle.
The group paddle on Wednesday evening was fantastic. Tina (Scoot and Paddle) took care of all the details so we only had to show up, get in a kayak, and paddle off. It was so peaceful out in the Sound and we saw lots of fish jumping. Some paddlers even went swimming! I definitely plan on going again.

The Witch Paddle was so exhilarating, FUN, & exciting! It was a challenging full 3-hour, 7-miles paddle down the Housatonic River but it was perfect! I'm SO SAD to see S&P go! Best wishes to their future!
Amazing experience! Everyone was so nice and friendly. The instructors were there if you needed them, but totally laid back. A perfect evening with my son.
Fantastic experience!! We (13 of us) took my mother kayaking for her birthday- the owner was amazing! She made sure my mother’s birthday went off without a hitch. I recently signed my daughter up for camp and she was quite apprehensive about attending (didn’t want to get out of the car). Tina sat with my daughter and took extra care to make her feel comfortable (she did not have to do any of this). My daughter now cannot wait to go to camp everyday!! Highly recommend!!
We had the best experience ever! Your entire staff was amazing. From the front desk to the help on the beach, everyone was super helpful, polite and professional. Your equipment was superb and we will definitely be back. Thank you for an easy, efficient and fun way to enjoy the beautiful ocean. Afterwards we enjoyed dinner and ice cream while strolling the streets. A wonderful day!!!!!!
Love this shop and my kiddo loved their camp! The counselors for the Paddle Board and Kayak camp are top notch! I've purchased accessories as well as equipment and been happy with all items. Great additional to Milford and Walnut Beach area.
Wonderful way to spend a summer evening! Kayaking over a school of rays with a golden sunset behind us on our way to Charles Island provided a thrilling paddle with a nice adrenalin boost when the dorsal fin of the sand shark went by on or left. Nature continued to display her beauty on Charles Island with an abundance of great blue heron and snowy egrets. Dessert was served - a delicious slice of a golden full moon.
My mom was visiting, so we decided to try a new activity! The kayak rental was perfect, easy, safe, and fun. I recommend this as one of Connecticut’s best kept secrets and best summer activities. Make sure to read some of the history of Milford, Walnut Beach, and Charles Island before you go— makes it an even greater adventure!

It was clean and people were friendly. It was a great place to see some art collections. We went to an Earth day event and the kids had fun.
Very nice venue for art shows, small and easy to navigate.
Went there to the hall. It is a nice place to have a small get together.

Papa's Pizza is a pizzeria in Milford known for its regional "New Haven-style" brick-oven pies, grinders, and calzones. The pizza is highly praised for its cheese, sauce, and dough. While they don't deliver, the short drive to pick up the food is well worth it according to loyal customers. In addition to their delicious pizzas, Papa's Pizza also offers great salads and meals.
Great new haven style pies out of Milford. Pick up only at the location I visited. Great tasty pies with many options cooked to perfection. I'd recommend the shrimp and bacon. 🥓

Went to get a barbecue chicken pizza and this is how it looks and there is no barbecue sauce or even a taste of barbecue any thing just chicken on a pizza cool won't be back
I've been a return customer for about 10 years. Unfortunately, my experience today convinced me not to return. This is a top dollar location. Today I paid the most money I've ever spent here, received the least amount of food ever and it was poorly assembled to boot. Gone are the days of a pizza that just.barely fits into the box. My large pizza was small, oddly shaped and oddly cut. The two meatball cones I ordered were served in old bread and with half the number of meatballs I've come to expect. Didn't bother calling to complain because it's over an hour round trip. I hope this is just a one off, but I won't ever come back to find out.
I loved their pizza. The place is small, difficult to find, but they are always busy. It was so good i drove 1h just to eat their pizza for the second time.
I went out of my way to try Papa’s Pizza on a friend’s recommendation. Unfortunately, the pizza I received was disappointing — the crust was so overcooked it crumbled, and the sauce was barely noticeable. Maybe I caught them on a bad night, but it wasn’t a good experience.
I don’t give reviews often but PaPa’s Pizza and the staff deserve 5 stars! Pizza is always good and the people are always so nice even when they’re slammed busy! Papa’s for the win!
Came up from NY to try this NH style pizza. It did not disappoint. Pizza was cooked to perfection, great ingredients, and that brick oven crust 👌🏽. Very Friendly Staff!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
I grew up around the corner and have had their apizza since they opened in the mid eighties and I've always loved their pie. I put it on par with the more well known greats in New Haven. Definitely the best in Milford. Always great.
